Saturday night, we headed to the Perry Belmont Mansion in Dupont Circle for Opera Lafayette's annual benefit, Une Fête de la Belle Époque! We snapped the evening's honorees, David Frederick and Sophie Lynn, who received the Leadership in the Arts Award with their daughter, Isabel Lynn, and nephew, Zachary Lynn.

Guests enjoyed a special performance led by founder and artistic director Ryan Brown. Here, Brown is flanked by benefit chair JoAnn Willis and Opera Lafayette executive director Diana Hossack.

Following the performance and dinner program, guests enjoyed a silent auction and live auction, including a Roses Luxury gift card and an Opera Lafayette Backstage Experience. Here, Opera Lafayette patrons: Merritt Chesley, Sheridan Harvey and Julia Miller.
